I don't do much randomly, but when I was working in Greensboro, I would give something to the RHMotD (random homeless man of the day) standing at the intersection of 68 and I-40. Not much: a piece of chicken (Bojangles is right there too), spare change, a Sharpie marker, whatever.

I cross a lot of lines - which one brings the disappointment?

If it's saver line, I don't want to bag on the guy too much, even though it's really tempting at times. Everyone deserves kindness, except for Charles Manson, who should be fed feet first into an industrial-sized wood chipper with dull blades.

A funny story: in a random act of kindness, when we were going through the Starbucks drive-thru last year, the car ahead of us paid for our small coffee and scone, so the barrista asked if we wanted to "pay it forward" and pay for the car behind us. We said yeah, but as it turned out, it was three times the amount that we had originally ordered, so had we just paid for what we ordered in the first place, it wouldn't have been so 'painful'.

I guess sometimes those random acts can just sort of slap you in the face.... but hopefully the angels of karma were looking out for you and something else good happened.

and btw shame on that starbucks person... they should have been aware of the difference and just asked you if you'd like to contribute your payment to the car behind not pick up the whole dang tab... >:(

then we walked past this street fair and there was guy who creates jewelry out of glass. the stuff is pretty amazing and I told him so. I oohed and awed over his work and asked him about the process. He was very proud that I liked his stuff.

I quit the wheel of the tug this morning at 7:00 A.M.. Then instead of having a rest I sat before my car's wheel and give a lift to my children and wife to spend a while on the beach till the sun went down.

The last thing I wanted the first was being a taxi driver, but when you love you yield to play the field.

I suppose that is a random act of kindness...I'm glad to make it endless ;)

works for me.... hope you had a nice day at the beach even tho you were tired :)

I washed my husband's laundry, does that qualify as a random act of kindness? No, I did not beat it against a rock in a stream, but I did go down our treacherous basement steps with a full heavy basket. I must go down there again soon to switch it to the dryer and start a load of my clothes.

yeah that's probably how it came up in whatever translation program he uses. I'm sure that when I use babel fish to translate, it does a very shoddy job. I remember when dizzy was trying to come up with her new name and I suggested the Portuguese word for dancer (via babel fish), unfortunately I did not know that Portuguese (like french) has gender specific words, so I unintentionally suggested she use the male word for dancer (which she so obviously isn't...a male, that is) ;D

When tourists are on vacation they think nobody's in a hurry. Everywhere is jam-packed , so you move slower your lorry. You need way too much time to get at workand way too much time to go homeso you have to wake up earlier then before.

more time to park your car you needand you're happy when you achieve itwithout a fine on the windshield and being fed up in the wheelif you get help up on a traffic jamp, more time staying in line to watch a film or waiting at the counter to buy an ice-cream, so less time to enjoy your free time.

You have to pay more money, time and attention if you want to survive in this hive that it becomes a city in summertime with tourists on vacation.

I don't mind tourists all around.

The other day I was at the supermarket. I was checking my items out, and an older gentleman behind me says, "could you use this?"....he handed me a $10 gift certificate for the store. I thought that was so nice of him! :)

That's wonderful. :)

I drove my nephew around town. He saw our bioparc,

http://www.bioparcvalencia.es/cas/where wildlife is around, and visitors can see from apes to birds.

Only one we couldn't see in that park. So I drove my little offspring penguin into train station

to have a beer and a soft drink for the kid along with penguin the nestor. :)

We gave an elderly man that was hitchiking a ride (about 2 miles or so). It was really hot. All went well except he asked how we felt about the 3 young woman that recently got shot at a local exercise gym place. One of my hubby's friends went to church with all three woman (in their 30s and 40s) so he was rather upset. We made polite small talk until we dropped the guy off where he wanted to go. But it was a little creepy. lol He asked us if we used Tide (laundry detergent) and I said yes (if it's on sale). He gave me a coupon for 40 cents off of a box of Tide. So it was a weird day.
